Listen to Your Soul

In this blog post, I will share a little of how my soul found its way home.
Whenever we feel an unexplainable intense gravitation pull towards a different cultural environment, it is our soul longing to relive some of its pleasant experiences in our past lives. It keeps wanting to trace its footsteps back to familiarity. Bear in mind the keyword is unexplainable because nowadays, many people idolise other cultures due to pop stars or whatever trending influences.
This does not happen to everyone naturally. People with younger souls tend not to have enough incarnations in a similar cultural background to leave a strong impression on their souls. But for those with many incarnations on earth, their souls are always in search of their roots.
If the soul is trying to tell you something, take a moment to listen carefully, and reflect upon it. Doing so establishes a connection to our spirit, which gives way to uncovering insights regarding our authenticities which in turn elevate us spiritually. This is, in fact, the first guiding principle in my article Spirituality, The World of Spirits.
I hope my short story below on how my soul guided me to its origins will help others gain a broader perspective so they too can learn to retrieve their past.
In my mid-twenties, I found myself obsessed with Taiwanese indigenous singers, especially those with beautiful voices. Therefore, the immediate thing I did on my first trip to Taiwan was to visit its Aboriginal cultural heritage site, an itinerary that I enthusiastically anticipated. However, when I was there, observing all the artifacts and structures, it felt like home but not quite. I could even feel a sense of letdown, which at that point, I did not understand why.
Until many years later, during an overseas tour, I stumbled across a public performance of a Native South American musician group. Their music was breathtaking, and most importantly, I felt my soul danced alive so much so that I turned teary. Needless to say, I bought all their CDs. But still, I did not come to the realisation of what exactly was happening. My only thought was that either I was eccentric or hippie.
It was only after a few years into my spiritual practice that I gradually began to link everything up. I started searching for Native South American songs to listen to again until I finally found the correct indigenous language (Quechua) that my soul resonated with. The more I tuned in to the music, the higher the consciousness grew, and the more I knew who I was in the past, sort of similar to meditation which I will touch on later.
I was able to comprehend that I had lived several past lives as a shaman in the Andes region. This is why I am an inbred shaman and have the same claircognizance ability as most shamans do have. Of course, not all my incarnations were shamans. I was also once a Victorian woman. But perhaps, I gained the most profound spiritual wisdom and enlightenment during those incarnations as a shaman that the experiences imprinted on my soul deeply.

And actually, I discovered my shamanic ability quite by accident. I must explain that most Quechua tunes are shamanic in nature with all the rhythmic drumming, high-pitched quena (flute) sounds, and whistles to imitate animal calls.
There was once I kept playing them aloud for long hours and days while lighting blessing candles for myself, and as a result of the music and partly due to my high spiritual vibration, it had drawn two spirits to me. It was purely unintentional since I did not call for them.
Both were from the South American region. One was Yara, a water nymph, who paid a visit in my dream. The other was the spirit of a Native chief whom I had a fast glimpse in the mirror, and he disappeared. It is not a lot of times a human is able to come into range with the frequencies of these spirits, and hence, it makes them very curious when it does. Usually, they just would like to drop by and say hi.
When shamanic music is played, the sacred sounds interconnect the spirit of the plant (wooden drum), the spirit of the animal (their calls), the soul of another (musician), and our soul, embodying the splendour of Mother Nature Spirit and Native Spirit, creating a pathway to the spirit world.
Therefore, meditation is not the only method you can use to gain spiritual enlightenment. There are plenty of others, so find one that suits you. I do not meditate at all, ever. A lot of people do not know what they are meditating for, and that, to me, is a complete waste of time.
True story. There is someone I know of, who meditates, and at the same time, is a dishonorable person who lies. Now, if we cannot go inwards and reflect our treatment towards another soul while meditating, what is the point of doing?

However, I must say, not all shamanic music is made equal. I mean no offense to some of the YouTube content creators, but many of the videos, especially those with high viewerships, rarely make the mark.
I am neither a musician nor a trained shaman (at least not in this lifetime), but I can certainly recognise spiritual music when I hear one. Most of them fall short due to incorrect drumming rhythm (too fast/slow), and volume of the drum beats (too soft), and pitch of the flute sounds (not sharp enough). If you would like to use Native American shamanic music to aid you in your spiritual quest, I would recommend using those created traditionally by the Natives themselves.
And if you know me personally, I had stopped listening to pop or any other music genres many years ago. Quechua music is the only one I listen to daily, and it is always that same eight to ten music/songs on a rotational basis. This is what my soul loves, and so I keep it happy this way. It is like a kid who wants his candy.
My soul is right where it belongs.
